The parking is so crowded and for disabled parking there is not even. The choice for food is limited. The staff is not as friendly and accommodating. The place seems clean but wall paper on the bathroom was peeling. There are people banging on our doors. Unpleasant stay. If I could do it over, I will not pay for this place. Thinking it was a Hilton but very disappointed.

We absolutely loved our stay. All the employees were nice and friendly especially Jimmy who served us serve us several times at the Igauna restaurant. There was also a woman who managed the restaurant who was also wonderful. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was that there wasn’t any complimentary coffee in the morning.
